We accomplish our mission by providing:

Microfinance funding and support services for the lowest-income women to start and grow their businesses. Microloans provide economic power not readily available to women in under-resourced areas of the world. With a WIL loan, women are able to build a livelihood that can sustain their families.

Grants to grass-roots nonprofit and NGOs that serve vulnerable women and girls in countries where poverty is a way of life. By focusing on women’s education, health, social/political leadership and self-sufficiency projects, WIL provides a path to a more secure future.

Educational programs that focus on women’s economic, health or political issues ensuring that WIL members are aware of the complex issues affecting global poverty. When we communicate a woman’s story and the issues relevant to her survival, we are spreading the word and the compassionate belief about what will make a difference in her life. 

Travel opportunities that help with our understanding of the difficulties faced by women in these communities. WIL brings the travel experience closer to all WIL members through international and local travel, literature and film, enhancing understanding of what contributes to disparities in income and opportunity.

Service projects that complements WIL’s financial support including diverse efforts such as mentoring, nonprofit board development, the collection of basic goods and the production of goods for sale. With hands-on work WIL members share wisdom and experience for the benefit of women locally and globally.
